1977 450 SL steering box leak
Ok... I think I know the answer here, but am hoping I will be pleasantly surprised.
The box is completely dry and working fine, except for a substantial leak at the steering shaft seal on top. No excessive play or any issues, just the leak at the top. I have my full seal kit here on the branch, ready to go. The top bearing cap and all that came off very nicely. Now.... The big question: Do I just do the bearing cap o-ring and input seal, or do I tackle the whole reseal job? Is it coming out of the top because of excessive pressure below, or should doing just the top seal fix it? I know you are all going to say: you have it out already, do it all! But I really don't have time. Sure would be nice to press this seal in and be done. |

However , you can try what you are thinking of doing, cant do any harm, and if it works , great , if not well then do the whole rebuild , good luck

Power steering Box
Do the whole thing but first check the hoses coming in at the front of the box 2 of them and they tend to leak at hi milkeage.
